Dan,

Agreed that a business degree from Harvard is not necessary.=20

I would also add, if CANSLIM is so "simple" then why is there a paper =
published each and every market day that continues to print lessons, an =
IBD advanced investment seminar at least twice a year, an updated =
edition of HTMMIS every so often, lists devoted to the CANSLIM =
discipline? Why is it that WON continues to refine and add to his lists =
of indicators or his market FTD rules? Why is it that each and every =
person who follows the CANSLIM discipline has not garnered at least a =
25% compounded annual return each and every year? Because, while the =
*rules* are simple as you suggest, the *implementation* is not. There is =
always something new to learn, always a new "twist" on interpretation, =
always a new economic/business/market backdrop unfolding and the =
investor must always be intelligently conscious of these things.=20

To the notion of "beating the bushes," I believe that an intelligent =
investor is always preparing for the market to go *either* direction and =
then willing to take trades in the appropriate direction (or if they =
don't short to stand aside). To idly sit by and discontinue mining for =
quality candidates because the market is in a downdraft is mindless and =
inappropriate whether a CANSLIMer or anything else.=20

  Katherine,

    Dan,

    I'd say there's a world of difference between "brain surgery" and "a =

what it takes to implement CANSLIM effectively. Not only do you have to =

        Hi Patrick,

        The sideways market seems the most plausible scenario given the =
confluence of economic/business/market/innovation cycles. What is most =
interesting about this, however, is that although at the end of the =
period the real returns on the market may be even, within that sideways =
market there are waves of stock/industry movement to ride up and down. A =
discipline like CANSLIM will allow us to make money during this type of =
market but doesn't allow for the sloppiness in candidate mining/due =
diligence/entry/exit afforded us by a Great Bull run. I just think a =
sideways market will *force* us to be excellent investors and I can't =
see that that's a bad thing.
